Unit 6: Search Tools: Subscription Databases
Lesson 4: Searching the Databases
Searching for information in Edison Library’s subscription databases is similar to searching for information in the Library’s online catalog, with a few subtle differences.
Similar to the Library’s online catalog, you can search Edison Library’s subscription databases for articles on a particular topic by subject, author, title, and keyword. You also can do an advanced search, click on Help to get assistance, and limit your search by publication type, format, and date. However, the databases offer additional options for limiting your search. You can search for articles in full text only, search for peer-reviewed journals, search for documents with images, and more.
To learn more about search methods, review Unit 4: Search Methods.
